Bradford B Parker , CO August 29, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave HVM1540DM1WW Ge Microwave Hvm1540dm1ww: Touch panel short was the error. How to replace Assy-Control Panel. Read the reviews on the web. All research pointed to replacing the Control Panel. Watched a YouTube. Ordered the Panel. Replacement was pretty easy. Part was not cheap. Paid about $160. The GE microwave is a good one and the incremental cost of repair seemed to make financial sense rather than ordering a new one. In this disposable world we live in, glad I took time to make the repair. 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
